Information:
Shows thread starter avatars on thread listings. If your avatars are stored in the database (which vBulletin does by default) this will not add any additional queries, if you have moved your avatars into your file system this will add an additional query for fetching each avatar. Barely any hit to page load though =). Does not remove anything from your template, but does add icons for new post, hot thread, and closed thread that overlap the avatar in a stylish way.

that would work by itself, without a query. but that _1 at the end is the revision number, so I would need something like $thread[postuseridAvatarRev] where the 1 is, and i dont see any way of doing this without creating queries.

I guess for now i can combine it into one product using, ill just inform that if your avatars on your file system it will create a query for avatar loaded.

Sorry been away so long, new baby, got married, got into GM, just got to the point I can resume developing.I'm working on a bunch of products, some free, some paid, and will release them all at once.Dirt RIF CustUmz

as they say in developing 'anything is possible' lol, but beyond my skillset, this is =P

can you give me an example? a product that uses this method, a way vbulletin uses it? im looking into it now too

it doesnt even touch the page load whether you have the additional queries or not though (at least from what Ive seen). all the queries mean, is it's asking the database for more information. on some products, queries matter, but from the testing ive put on my crappy little server sitting next to me i have not noticed any stress at all =) and its just a little ubuntu server i made from old pc parts, so if your site is on a real server youll have no issues =)

Yes I agree this Mod is insignificant as a bloat producer or performance negative. It doesn't hurt page load or performance at all. The only thing it really does is add the kb of the avatar image files, but these are small and not a significant source of bloat either.

I only mentioned the Datastore as a possible solution for some of the coding issues you're getting. But really, you're doing just fine the way it is.

what other pages other than search would this need to be activated?... i cant think of any others
